Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Reaches the Pinnacle of Life
Chapter 108 6th Era 1 Everything Can Be Changed Gourmet Food 23
They soon arrived at the first area affected by the locust plague, which was quite severe, with the crops in the fields almost completely devoured.
When Qiu Tong and her group arrived, the disaster victims were crying and wailing in despair.
Although Wang Shaoyu had already reported and conveyed the handling plan through the commune in advance, allowing the locals to capture the locusts.
But just as Qiu Tong said, locusts lay eggs while eating. If you catch a locust here, the eggs will hatch into new locusts that will start eating them. It's impossible to control the disaster.
Qiu Tong had planned to proceed step by step. She first took the locusts that she had caught and left there, and taught the local disaster victims how to remove the toxic parts.
Then, he took out the antidote he had been refining overnight over the past few days from his bag and had the local disaster victims put a drop of the medicine into the water and soak the locusts in the water for an hour.
Finally, deep-fry them to make a delicious dish.
The oil was provided by Qiu Tong; she had collected a lot of animal oil along the way, just for this use.
After all, oil was too expensive in that era, and many ordinary people simply couldn't afford it, so how could they use it to fry locusts?
Also, the locust plague area is close to the south, so there is no shortage of water. Qiu Tong's method of soaking locusts in water with medicine can still be used. However, this method cannot be used in arid areas of the northwest or northeast.
Qiu Tong is also working to improve these detoxifying agents, striving to find alternative ways to remove the toxins from locusts in arid regions.
Having a powerful auxiliary system, obtaining the relevant knowledge is not as simple as breathing for Qiu Tong.
At first, the locals were unwilling to eat it, but seeing that Wang Shaoyu and the others were eating with relish, and having been hungry for a long time, they couldn't resist the temptation of the fried aroma, so they grabbed some, closed their eyes, and stuffed them into their mouths.
In the end, just like Wang Shaoyu and the others had eaten at first, they were immediately amazed by the taste. The disgusting taste they had imagined did not appear. Instead, they were conquered by the crunchy texture of the locusts.
The locals were scrambling to eat them; these locusts were deep-fried, so they were oily and wouldn't get hungry so easily.
Soon, without the government's call, the people in this area spontaneously went to catch locusts.
Seeing the locusts, they no longer looked gloomy, but instead appeared as if they were starving ghosts reincarnated.
Qiu Tong secretly extracted the medicine at night, without telling anyone.
The refining methods and instruments all come from advanced technology in the magical city, so naturally they cannot be refined in front of ordinary people.
When Wang Shaoyu asked where the medicine came from, Qiu Tong could only lie and say that she extracted the ingredients from local crops and fields.
This medicine can be delivered by Wang Shaoyu to the commune so that they can distribute it to the areas severely affected by locust plagues as soon as possible.
It also included instructions on how to remove the poisonous parts from locusts and cooking methods, and was sent to all parts of the country.
This also solved the food problem in some areas, but it consumes a lot of fuel. Qiu Tong doesn't need to worry about that; the government will find a way to resolve it.
As for the problem of insect eggs, Qiu Tong has to eliminate them in one region after another, which is why Qiu Tong insisted on going to every disaster area in the first place.
This requires the use of insecticides, but insecticides did not exist in this era, so Qiu Tong could only formulate some primitive versions of insecticides based on the knowledge implanted in her brain.
She also couldn't let anyone else know how she sprayed pesticides on the ground to kill the eggs.
This is all thanks to the great invention – the drone.
Taking advantage of the quiet of the night, Qiu Tong operated a drone to spray pesticides in the fields.
Qiu Tong won't keep refining these potions forever. The detoxifying potions that are sent out will eventually run out, so the only way to eliminate the insects is to address the problem at its source.
How to extract the detoxifying solution is difficult to explain, so I could only lie and cover it up.
Qiu Tong didn't need to think about that; Wang Shaoyu had already noticed that the origins of these potions were unknown and helped Qiu Tong cover it up.
When Qiu Tong mentioned the solution, he had already thought of how to explain the origin of these drugs to the country.
Qiu Tong was unaware that her lame excuse had already been seen through, but everyone kept quiet about it.
In particular, Wang Shaoyu had instructed his subordinates not to reveal the origin of these medicines, and to keep the same story: they were obtained from the Wang family.
This way, Wang Shaoyu could explain to his superiors that these medicines were developed by a friend in his family who was engaged in research.
However, the research and development process went wrong, and they didn't know the correct steps, so they only had this batch of medicine.
The purpose of the medicine was initially unknown. It was only after they accidentally used it to experiment on various organisms that they discovered it could remove toxins from certain insects, and that's when they started using it.
Originally, it was an experiment, and everyone even ate the detoxified locusts to test the poison on themselves.
Only after the results were available did Wang Shaoyu dare to report these medicines.
This explanation sounds reasonable, but the leaders naturally demanded that the ingredients needed for the medicine be reported so that the country's researchers could study it together.
Such a good insecticide shouldn't just disappear like this.
When Qiu Tong heard Wang Shaoyu make this request, she didn't think much of it.
This requirement was nothing to Qiu Tong. Even if the required materials were reported, it would be useless without the refining equipment.
Qiu Tong couldn't just casually take out these things that were beyond the technology of this era. She couldn't explain where they came from, and she certainly couldn't expose the high-tech products in her space.
Providing materials is perfectly fine; it's reasonable for the government to have this requirement.
Qiu Tong also hopes that the country's talented people can overcome this difficulty as soon as possible.
It wasn't that she didn't want to advance the technological development of this era, but as the saying goes, "a man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure," and she understood the problems she would face once these instruments were released.
She could only provide some clues to the best of her ability; there was nothing else she could do.
Qiu Tong had no idea that Wang Shaoyu had concealed certain things for her sake and even helped her claim the origin of the medicine.
She thought her lame excuse would convince everyone, but in the near future, she would find out what Wang Shaoyu had done for her.
After resolving the locust egg issue in various regions, Qiu Tong had to return to Beijing to report on her work.
She has made so many contributions to the country, and in the field of planting, she is already considered one of the best.
She must return to Beijing to report on her work and also report to the agricultural department. She has been in office for so long, but she has not yet returned to Beijing.
Her superiors had already expressed their dissatisfaction and ordered her to return to Beijing immediately after the locust plague was resolved.
Qiu Tong and her team drove two military trucks along the disaster area, finally visiting all the affected areas before the autumn harvest.
They would stay in the area for a day or two to observe the disaster situation. Qiu Tong would then secretly spray insecticide at night. If they found no problems, they would leave the area.
The food on the military truck had long been used up for disaster relief along the way, and now they only use one military truck as a means of transportation.
The other military truck had long been returned to the state through the local commune.
Their food rations along the way were all obtained through Qiu Tong's hunting skills.
People live off the land and water; Qiu Tong always finds a way to hunt for food.
Even if she doesn't catch anything, she can retrieve the prey she stored in her spatial storage and present it as her hunted prey.
Previously, when passing through areas with abundant prey, Qiu Tong would secretly store the extra prey in her spatial storage.
This proved useful later on, as they found it increasingly difficult to hunt prey and had to rely on the prey in the space to survive.
The drought in the north makes it difficult for them to hunt for food.
Apart from Wang Shaoyu, everyone else thought that Qiu Tong was just lucky to be able to hunt food every day.
Only Wang Shaoyu, who had been keeping a close eye on Qiu Tong, knew that Qiu Tong would always return with her prey after disappearing for a short while.
Moreover, some of the prey were not species that should exist in their area at all. This could not be hidden from Wang Shaoyu, as he had done some research on these matters.
This made him suspect that Qiu Tong's prey was not hunted here.
But he just couldn't understand it. If Qiu Tong had hunted them before, where had they been hiding all this time? This was something Wang Shaoyu had never been able to figure out.
Qiu Tong was unaware that her plan to take out prey from her spatial storage had been exposed, and she was still happily roasting the meat.
Wang Shaoyu was unaware that Qiu Tong had been taken from his spatial storage. He assumed she was hidden somewhere and didn't investigate further.
He also subconsciously overlooked one thing: how the prey was kept fresh. He dared not investigate further, fearing he might find something bad, so he ostrich-likely ignored it.
The others just thought Qiu Tong was amazing, able to hunt prey wherever she went, unlike them who couldn't catch a single one.
These days, all the food is from Qiu Tong's hunts, and their admiration for Qiu Tong has reached an extremely high level.
Along the way, Qiu Tong inspected the autumn harvest situation in various places and found that the yield in many areas was still very poor. However, as long as the country did not buy their grain, they could still have enough to eat.
She also wants to start cultivating hybrid rice to further increase yields.
She could only apologize to Grandpa Yuan in her heart, and take his ideas and achievements as her own to present to the world.
She only resorted to this desperate measure because she wanted to reduce the number of starving ghosts. Was it easy for her? Later, Qiu Tong researched hybrid rice with a sense of guilt.
